Did we trade for Subban yet???



I can't believe you guys thought he wasn't worth 4.5 million to 5 million.

You need to start paying attention to what I say....

You're talking to the choir on that one...I would have traded Reinhart for Subban. No way Reinhart puts up numbers Subban does...

I will take Moulson over Boyes any day of the week. That is my point. Its not even debatable
- Vukota

I don't know why everyone is on Mouldson...goal scorers are streaky...also I don't think he played in Europe during the lockout which I think is why he hasn't played as well as some of the others that did....

haha why would the habs trade a proven nhl defenseman straight up for a defensive prospect?

that excuse is old and ineffective when youre 40 games into the season.

When he is'nt scoring his other deficiences become blaringly obvious which makes him look worse. He's been real bad in all areas lately. Real bad defensively, avoids contact, terrible along the boards. Like he's picking up where Okposo left off . Hope he can turn it around and start scoring. We need that line to start scoring.

its actually odd to see...

there are 12 forwards that play and 11 play balls to the wall and moulson is clearly 2 steps slower than everyone...i know he had the flu last week, maybe still lingering? i dont know but he has been unquestionably the slowest player on the ice.

Like most snipers, Moulson needs two linemates who can fetch and feed. He has one along with a freeloader. I'd be willing to give just about anyone not named Boyes a shot on that line at this stage. That said, I actually the thought the Rangers game was one of Brad's better performances...which isn't saying much.

He is a stud. A jerk too. But a stud Nonetheless. Who did you wana trade for him?

DP and Amac....that outta do it!

Speaking of Okposo...what an absolute force he's been over the last couple of games. He even seems to have learned how to skate...some. It's starting to seem like perhaps his lack of offseason regimine really was the culprit in his pathetic first half.

I think Okposo got married during the offseason, which leads me to wonder how much the newlywed life interfered wiith his being ready for this season.

So Boyes is playing balls to the wall??

#Isles have activated Brian Strait and Joe Finley off of IR.

I think strait coming back is really gonna help the back end even more. My guess is Carkner won't be playing much down the stretch once Strait is ready to go

Yeah will be interesting to see. I hope they dont start sitting Hickey as well. When all three were healthy they kind of all took turns

I was thinking offer sheet too!!!

I know we talked about it on here... I bet Montreal wishes they would have tied him up longer now.

Vukota... Did you buy your playoff tickets yet?

Boyes has been playing well over the last few weeks.

He isn't the greatest player... but has good hockey instincts.

Not yet why?

Last 15 games

Boyes 1 goal 7 assists 8 points with 26 shots on goal and a +1

Moulson 2 goals 10 assists 12 points with 45 shots on goal and a +1

Neither one of them have been that good but to anyone who thinks Boyes is out playing Moulson over the last 3 or so weeks this should pretty much end that talk. Also I didn't even get into turnovers because that's all Boyes does is turnover the puck Like I said both have not been very good but enough with the Boyes is out playing Moulson because its clear he is not.

Ok OK but Grabner is out playing both of them

- kasperrko

I agree but like I said moving Grabner off that line kills the rest of the line and now they have 1 less line that is scoring. That's the reason he is still on that line

Guess it is frustrating we are one good player away from having 4 great lines.

again, im not talking about the numbers...neither have great numbers, lets leave it at that.

what about the defensive part of the game? the physical part of the game? the energy? the speed?
